Vision

Vision

Vision is the result of light being detected and transduced into neural signals by the retina of the eye. This information is then further analyzed and interpreted by the brain. First, light enters the front of the eye and is focused by the cornea and lens onto the retina—a thin sheet of neural tissue lining the back of the eye. Because of refraction through the convex lens of the eye, images are projected onto the retina upside-down and reversed.

Background:

Scalp electroencephalography (EEG) signals are crucial for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) but are often mixed and lack frequency specificity.
Developing compact and interpretable decoders is essential for clinical EEG applications and efficient object recognition.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify cortical regions and features that carry discriminative visual information for object recognition.
To develop efficient, anatomically grounded decoders for BCIs using source-space analysis.
To compare the efficiency of different feature families and anatomical resolutions for EEG decoding.

Main Methods:

A source-space decoding pipeline was developed, projecting EEG sensor signals onto anatomically defined cortical regions.
Four feature families (band-limited power, line length, temporal morphology, couplings) were extracted from regions of interest (ROIs).
Random Forest classifiers were trained per participant, and decoder generality was assessed across participants.

Main Results:

A low-dimensional representation based on line length (LL) demonstrated the strongest decoding performance.
The 24-ROI LL-only model achieved higher accuracy with 92% fewer features than a sensor-space baseline.
Anatomically informed ROIs improved decoding efficiency and interpretability compared to sensor-space methods.

Conclusions:

For single-trial, rapid visual presentation decoding, time-domain structure within anatomically defined ROIs captures most discriminative information.
Line length features provide a compact and effective representation for EEG decoding.
This neuro-informed approach supports lightweight, interpretable BCIs with clear anatomical attribution.
